Question 8
A gas mixture consists of 8 moles of argon and 6 moles of oxygen at temperature $$T$$. Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is
Solution
8 mol Ar (monoatomic): $$U_1=8\cdot\frac{3}{2}RT=12RT$$.
6 mol O₂ (diatomic, no vibration): $$U_2=6\cdot\frac{5}{2}RT=15RT$$.
Total: $$U=12RT+15RT=27RT$$.
The answer is Option (3): $$27RT$$.
